Why are Reservations not available for Ddsv5 instances on Azure PostgreSQL Flexible Server?

I'm calculating the cost of Azure PostgreSQL Flexible Server which uses Ddsv5 instance and notice that Reservations for this series and Dadsv5 instances are not available. Is there an explanation for this? Reservations are available for the older Ddsv4 and Dsv3 series but not for the newer series?

The same goes to Edsv5 and Eadsv5 series. No reservations available, only v4 and v3 series can purchase reservations.

Thanks.

    Hi Pitawat,

    Thanks for your patience.

    We have got the below reply from internal team:

    Reservations are not available for V5 SKu’s yet.

    Creating new reservations is a time-consuming process and it will not be available until next year.

    We recommend you to raise feedback over Azure Feedback Channel for Azure Database for PostgreSQL so that concerned team could consider this feature depending on the importance and up-votes received.

    Hope this helps. Please let us know if you have further queries.

    Thanks

    OP here. I noticed on the Release notes page that the reservations for v5 instances was just released in September 2024. https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/postgresql/flexible-server/release-notes#release-september-2024

    I can confirm that I'm seeing v5 instances reservation available for purchase in the Azure Portal. It's been just over a year since I started this thread.

    Hello @Kanchan Bharati and @ShaktiSingh-MSFT .

    Reservation is still not available today according to Azure Portal.

    Do you have a new deadline for us?

    We contacted our account team and they were not able to help regarding the pricing.

    So we are paying FULL charge for several months now, and it had an impact in our budget.

    Best regards,

    V5 reservations are delayed, team is working on this, and we expect them to be available in March.

    Thanks for your cooperation.

    Hello all.

    Just to provide an update that Ddsv5 instances on Azure PostgreSQL Flexible Server are still not available.

    We continue to work to unblock this and add this SKUs for reservations but no ETA yet.

    Thank you.
